what is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice on a minor?

Answer #1

When a person suffers harm because of the negligence of a medical professional, that person has a right to file a lawsuit against the responsible party(s). However, the amount of time a person has to file a lawsuit is limited by what is known as a medical malpractice statute of limitations. In other words, a statute of limitations is a type of legal deadline, and individuals who fail to file a lawsuit within this deadline may have to forfeit their right to take legal action. anyone can file a law suit, but if your a minor your parents have to be involved. The statue of limitations vary from state to state, so i would talk to a lawyer or legal aide to see if you have a strong case to pursue this law suit
